Its seems that young farmers are only being generated from family farms. As the family farms dis-appear, so does the young farmers.
A young guy working for corporate operation is not considered a young farmer (my opinion). He might be driving a tractor for a corporate operation, yes. But he's punching a time card and doing things and treated much like a factory worker.

They'll contract thier grain and or haul direct to terminal when convenient, skipping any middle man on that.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
